Problem with NV driver and Fedora 9

[Daniel Auger]

Ah... Yup. It should be 1680x1050 at 60hz. Thanks for catching that.

>From what I have read there is no functioning way to explicitly tell X
what the refresh rates should be. I've read a few posts over on
fedoraforum.org and no one has successfully done so. I guess it's just
going to have to be the vesa driver until nvidia gets a driver for F9s
Xorg server.
